Fluorination of perfluoroalkylsulfenyl chlorides,perfluorodialkyl disulfides and perfluorodialkyl sulfides with chlorine monofluoride

In reactions with perfluoroalkylsulfenyl chlorides (R_fSCl; R_f = F₃, C₂F₅, n-C₃F₇, n-C₄F₉) and perfluoroalkyl disulfides (R_fSSR_f′; R_f = R_f′ = CF₃, R_f = CF₃, R_f′ = C₂F₅) at 25°, chlorine monofluoride acts primarily as a chlorinating and fluorinating reagent to give the corresponding perfluoroalkylsulfur chloride tetrafluorides, R_fSF₄Cl, in good yields. However, small amounts of perfluoroalkylsulfur pentafluorides, R_fSF₅, are also obtained. A mixture of the cis and trans isomers of bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfur tetrafluoride and of trifluoromethyl pentafluoroethylsulfur tetrafluoride has been formed by the reaction of the corresponding bis(perfluoroalkyl) sulfides and chlorine monofluoride. The new perfluoroalkylsulfur chloride tetrafluorides are colorless, unpleasant smelling liquids. The infrared, mass and ¹⁹F NMR spectral data, as well as thermodynamic and elementary analysis data, are given for the new compounds.     

Azidoperfluoroalkanes: Synthesis and Application in Copper(I)‐Catalyzed Azide–Alkyne Cycloaddition

We report an efficient and scalable synthesis of azidotrifluoromethane (CF₃N₃) and longer perfluorocarbon‐chain analogues (R_FN₃; R_F=C₂F₅, ⁿ C₃F₇, ⁿ C₈F₁₇), which enables the direct insertion of CF₃ and perfluoroalkyl groups into triazole ring systems. The azidoperfluoroalkanes show good reactivity with terminal alkynes in copper(I)‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), giving access to rare and stable N ‐perfluoroalkyl triazoles. Azidoperfluoroalkanes are thermally stable and the efficiency of their preparation should be attractive for discovery programs.

The mechanisms of the reactions with AgR_f and Cd(R_f)₂ are discussed.     

Metal complexes of fluorophosphines : III. Some oxidative addition reactions of a rhodiumtrifluorophosphine complex

Some oxidative addition reactions of (CH₃)₅C₅Rh(PF₃)₂ with various iodine compounds are described. Iodine reacts with (CH₃)₅C₅Rh(PF₃)₂ in benzene at room temperature to give the deep red crystalline diiodide (CH₃)₅C₅Rh(PF₃)I₂. The perfluoroalkyl iodides R_fI (R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅, n-C₃F₇, and n-C₇F₁₅) react with (CH₃)₅C₅Rh(PF₃)₂ in benzene at room temperature to give the orange to deep red (CH₃)₅C₅Rh(PF₃)(R_f)I (R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅, n-C₃F₇, and n-C₇F_l5). The IR and proton and fluorine NMR spectra of these new (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)rhodium-trifluorophosphine complexes are discussed.     

Ein Neuer Syntheseweg für Perfluororganomangan- und -rhenium-Verbindungen

A New Synthesis of Perfluoroorgano Manganese and Rhenium Compounds Pentacarbonyl perfluoroorgano manganese and rhenium compounds M(CO)₅R_f (M = Mn, Re; R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅, C₃F₇, C₄F₉, C₆F₁₃, C₆F₅) are formed as colourless solids or liquids in good yields from the reactions of M(CO)₅Br with Cd(R_f)₂ complexes in CH₂Cl₂ either in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of Ag[BF₄] or catalytic amounts of CuI. In the presence of e. g. CH₃CN the mono or disubstituted complexes M(CO)₄(CH₃CN)R_f or M(CO)₃(CH₃CN)₂R_f are formed.     

Synthesen und Eigenschaften von Tris(perfluoralkyl)arsen- und -antimon(III,V)-Verbindungen

Preparations and Properties of Tris(perfluoroalkyl) Arsenic and Antimony(III, V) Compounds As(R_f)₃ and Sb(R_f)₃ (R_f?C₂F₅, C₄F₉, C₆F₁₃) are prepared in good yields by the polar reactions of AsCl₃ and SbCl₃ with bis(perfluoroalkyl) cadmium compounds as colourless liquids or solids. The oxidation of As(C₂F₅)₃ and Sb(C₂F₅)₃ with XeF₂ gives the difluorides M(C₂F₅)₃F₂ (M?As, Sb). As(C₂F₅)₃Cl₂ is prepared by chlorination of As(C₂F₅)₃ in the presence of AlCl₃, while Sb(C₂F₅)₃Cl₂ is formed in the reaction of Sb(C₂F₅)₃F₂ with (CH₃)₃SiCl. During the reaction of M(C₂F₅)₃F₂ with (CH₃)₃SiBr ¹⁹F-NMR spectroscopic evidence is found for M(C₂F₅)₃ Br₂. The thermal decompositions of M(C₂F₅)₃F₂ mainly yield C₄F₁₀ and M(C₂F₅)F₂, while the thermal decompositions of M(C₂F₅)₃Cl₂ yield M(C₂F₅)₂Cl and C₂F₅Cl. The properties and spectroscopic data of the new compounds are described.     

A One‐Pot Synthesis of 1,3‐Dihydro‐1,3,3‐tris(perfluoroalkyl)isobenzofuran‐1‐olates and Their Complete NMR Spectroscopic Analysis on the Basis of 1D and 2D Experiments

A convenient synthesis of the 1,3‐dihydro‐1,3,3‐tris(perfluoroalkyl)isobenzofuran‐1‐ols 3a , b was elaborated starting from commercially available phthaloyl dichloride and trimethyl(perfluoroalkyl)silanes (Me₃SiR_f) 1a , b (R_f=CF₃, C₂F₅) in the presence of a fluoride source (Schemes 1 and 3). In a reaction analogous to alkyl Grignard reagents, double chloride substitution by two perfluoroalkyl groups and subsequent addition of one perfluoroalkyl group with concomitant ring closure led to this new class of compounds (Scheme 2). The syntheses of the alcohols and some alcoholates, as well as of the corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers are described. A combination of special 1D and 2D NMR experiments allowed the assignment of all atoms of the new compounds. The solid‐state structure of 1,3‐dihydro‐1,3,3‐tris(trifluoromethyl)isobenzofuran‐1‐ol ( 3a ) was elucidated by X‐ray diffraction methods.     

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of perfluoroalkyl-derivatised β-diketonates

A series of fluorinated β-diketones, R_fC(O)CH₂C(O)R_f′ (R_f=C₆F₁₃, R_f′=CF₃; R_f=R_f′=C₆F₁₃, C₇F₁₅), have been prepared in reasonable yields by a two-step synthesis. On reaction with appropriate metal substrates, deprotonation and concurrent coordination of the perfluoroalkyl-derivatised β-diketonate ligands affords a range of fluorous metal complexes which have been characterised by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR and NMR spectroscopies. The structures of [Cu(L-L)₂(H₂O)₂] {L-L=CF₃C(O)CHC(O)C₆F₁₃, C₆F₁₃C(O)CHC(O)C₆F₁₃} and [Cu(PPh₃)₂{C₇F₁₅C(O)CHC(O)C₇F₁₅}] have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Synthesen und Eigenschaften von Tetrakis(perfluoralkyl)tellur Te(Rf)4 (Rf = CF3, C2F5, C2F5, C3F7, C4F9)

Synthesis and Properties of Tetrakis(Perfluoroalkyl)Tellurium Te(R_f)₄ (R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅, C₃F₇, C₄F₉) Te(CF₃)₄ is obtained from the reaction of Te(CF₃)Cl₂ with Cd(CF₃)₂ complexes as a complex with e. g. CH₃CN, DMF. It is a light and temperature sensitive hydrolysable liquid. The reaction with fluorides yields the complex anion [Te(CF₃)₄F]⁻, with fluoride ion acceptors the complex cation [Te(CF₃)₃]⁺. With traces of water an acidic solution is formed. Te(CF₃)₄ acts as a trifluoromethylation reagent. The reaction with XeF₂ gives hints for the formation of Ye(CF₃)₄F₂. Properties and NMR spectra are discussed. The much more stable complexes of Te(R_f)₄ (R_f = C₂F₅, C₃F₇, C₄F₉) are formed from the reaction of TeCl₄ with the corresponding Cd(R_f)₂ complexes.     

Atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition of fluorine‐doped tin(IV) oxide from fluoroalkyltin precursors

Perfluoroalkytin compounds R_(4−n)Sn(R_f)_n (R = Me, Et, Bu, R_f = C₄F₉, n = 1; R = Bu, R_f = C₄F₉, n = 2, 3; R = Bu, R_f = C₆F₁₃, n = 1) have been synthesized, characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹F and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, and evaluated as precursors for the atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition of fluorine‐doped SnO₂ thin films. All precursors were sufficiently volatile in the range 84–136 °C and glass substrate temperatures of ca 550 °C to yield high‐quality films with ca 0.79–2.02% fluorine incorporation, save for Bu₃SnC₆F₁₃, which incorporated <0.05% fluorine. Films were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thickness, haze, emissivity, and sheet resistance. The fastest growth rates and highest quality films were obtained from Et₃SnC₄F₉. An electron diffraction study of Me₃SnC₄F₉ revealed four conformations, of which only the two of lowest abundance showed close F Sn contacts that could plausibly be associated with halogen transfer to tin, and in each case it was fluorine attached to either the γ‐ or δ‐carbon atoms of the R_f chain.

Atmospheric pressure deposition of fluorine‐doped SnO2 thin films from organotin fluorocarboxylate precursors

Nine organotin fluorocarboxylates R_nSnO₂CR_f (n = 3, R = Bu, R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅, C₃F₇, C₇F₁₅; R = Et, R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅; R = Me, R_f = C₂F₅; n = 2, R = Me, R_f = CF₃) have been synthesized; key examples have been used to deposit fluorine‐doped SnO₂ thin films by atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition. Et₃SnO₂CC₂F₅, in particular, gives high‐quality films with fast deposition rates despite adopting a polymeric, carboxylate‐bridged structure in the solid state, as determined by X‐ray crystallography. Gas‐phase electron diffraction on the model compound Me₃SnO₂CC₂F₅ shows that accessible conformations do not allow contact between tin and fluorine, and that direct transfer is therefore unlikely to be part of the mechanism for fluorine incorporation in SnO₂ films. The structure of Me₂Sn(O₂CCF₃)₂(H₂O) has also been determined and adopts a trans‐Me₂SnO₃ coordination sphere about tin in which each carboxylate group is monodentate.

Silver‐Catalyzed Formal Insertion of Arynes into RfI Bonds

An unprecedented silver‐catalyzed formal insertion of arynes into R_f?I (R_f=CF₃, C₂F₅) bonds has been developed. This protocol provides easy access to various ortho‐perfluoroalkyl iodoarenes under mild conditions. In this insertion reaction, an ionic atom‐transfer reaction of R_fI occurs, and a silver‐mediated metathesis process is involved in the efficient transfer of the electropositive iodine atom.     

Synthesis of 2-(perfluoroalkyl)ethyl potassium sulfates based on perfluorinated Grignard reagents

The first example of nucleophilic substitution with perfluoroalkyl Grignard reagents on the sp³ carbon centre is described. Thus, a series of organometals R_F-MgBr, prepared from perfluorinated alkyl iodides R_F-I with R_F = C₄F₉, C₆F₁₃, C₈F₁₇, C₁₀F₂₁ and C₁₂F₂₅, reacted with 1,3,2-dioxathiolane-2,2-dioxide to afford the corresponding 2-(perfluoroalkyl)ethyl magnesium sulfates, which were isolated after metathesis to the corresponding potassium salts. In the model reaction, perfluorohexylmagnesium iodide was reacted with methyl triflate yielding polyfluorinated alkane. The attempts to extend the reaction to 1,3,2-dioxathiane-2,2-dioxide were unsuccessful due to its inferior reactivity and only reduced polyfluoroalkane and the product of coupling were detected in the reaction mixture. Polyfluorinated sulfates are easily hydrolyzed with hydrochloric or triflic acid to the corresponding alcohols, which is an alternative to standard transformation of perfluoroalkyl iodides to 2-(perfluoroalkyl)ethanols. Quantum-chemical calculations of the PES of the reaction with both sulfur-containing heterocycles found that the failure of the reaction with 1,3,2-dioxathiane-2,2-dioxide is caused by higher activation energy of the process.     

Single‐Step Gas‐Phase Polyperfluoroalkylation of Naphthalene Leads to Thermodynamic Products

High‐temperature gas‐phase, solvent‐ and catalyst‐free reaction of naphthalene with an excess of R_FI reagent (R_F?CF₃, C₂F₅, n‐C₃F₇, and n‐C₄F₉) was used for the first time to produce a series of highly perfluoroalkylated naphthalene products NAPH(R_F)_n with n=2–5. Four 95+ % pure 1,3,5,7‐NAPH(R_F)₄ with R_F?CF₃, C₂F₅, n‐C₃F₇, and n‐C₄F₉ were isolated using a simple chromatography‐free procedure. These new compounds were fully characterized by ¹⁹F and ¹H NMR spectroscopy, X‐ray crystallography (for R_F?CF₃ and C₂F₅), atmospheric‐pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry, and cyclic and square‐wave voltammetry. DFT calculations confirm that the proposed synthesis yields the most stable isomers that have not been accessed by alternative preparation techniques.

The Reactivity of Potassium Polyfluoroaryl‐, Polyfluoroalkenyl‐, and Perfluoroalkyltrifluoroborates and their Hydrocarbon Analogues towards Acids of Different Strength: A Systematic Study of the Hydrodeboration

The hydrodeboration of the (fluoroorgano)trifluoroborates K [R_FBF₃] [R_F = C₆F₅, XCF=CF (X = F, cis‐ and trans‐Cl, C₃F₇O, cis‐C₂F₅, trans‐C₄F₉, ‐C₄H₉) and C₆F₁₃] and of the organotrifluoroborates K [RBF₃] (R = C₆H₅, cis‐ and trans‐C₄H₉CH=CH, C₄H₉ and C₈H₁₇) with CH₃CO₂H (100 %), CF₃CO₂H (100 %), aqueous HF and anhydrous HF was investigated. In the alkenyltrifluoroborates K [R'CF=CFBF₃] the formal replacement of BF₃ by a proton occurred stereospecifically under retention of the configuration. The ¹⁹F NMR spectra of K [R_FBF₃] in acids indicate strong interactions of the BF₃ group with protons or acid molecules.
